Breakdown: December 9th on KCRW

Things started off quite fine with the alternate mix of “Memory of a Free Festival” from David Bowie, but throughout the course of the show, I was beset with invisible gremlins wreaking havoc on my usually tight technical show. Nonetheless you do get some very nice music from Manu Chao, Inara George, Edan, King Khan & BBQ Show, recently highlighted Black Hollies and new music from Jason Molina and Will Johnson. Some dusty cuts (which the gremlins apparently loved, most of the issues were with the turntables this show) from Syl Johnson, McDonald & Giles, Bobby Powell, and reissued work from The Ghetto Brothers. Plus a bevy of requests, including Jason Karaban, Annie Lennox, Melaaz, Amon Tobin & Mint Royale. Enjoy it while you can, on demand for a week…
